Abstract

Marma is one of the unique part and concept of Ayurveda which has been discussed in all the classical texts and deeply elaborated by Acharya Sushruta in 6th chapter of Sharir Sthana. Amsaphalaka Marma is one out of 107 Marma, located on Pristhavansa Ubhayato (both side of vertebral column) and is related to Trika. According to Rachna it is a Asthi Marma.  It is classified as Vaikalyakar Marma. Trauma to Amsaphalaka Marma results in Baahuswapa and Sosha.  Here, Marmabhighata Lakshan can act as predictors of the structures involved. In this study, scholar was trying to find out exact location of Amsaphalaka Marma and its relationship with other anatomical entities (in circumference of this Marma) with the help of cadaveric study. As a final result the study concludes that Amsaphalaka Marma may be considered as spine of the scapula.
